Try to open these ports for outbound traffic: port 53 (for DNS resolution) and port 80 (for http browse).

Another solution which is so simple to realize: in the Windows Firewall dialog box, click Advanced tab, then click on By default and finally click on yes .

I would like to add an other thing: The default configuration may deny the run of certain programs that you want to allow their use (as an example, I can mention remote desktop). If you have this kind of problems, check Exceptions tab and allow the exception you want.
